Wide interior view of a covered hall with a long red carpet running down the centre between metal railings, lined with seated devotees on both sides. Many attendees wear white clothing, while women wear saffron, orange, pink and green saris and salwars. Hanging decorations include tall cylindrical banners in red, blue, yellow and orange with diamond patterns, paper stars and garlands strung across the ceiling. Framed photographs line the left wall, and at the far end a floral-decorated stage area with a white-clad figure stands near a dais. Many people are visible, though the exact number is hard to count.
